I went up to Manchester the other day to see Robbie Williams perform (I know, but it was a wife thing).
As we were waiting for the show to begin they were advertising Sky TV on two huge screens either side of the stage. When it came to promoting the Sky Sports stations pictures of top football stars flashed up on the screen.
It was interesting to note that the biggest cheer inside the Manchester Evening News Arena was for Liverpool's Jamie Redknapp, and the biggest boo? Yes you guessed it David Beckham.
It was not a bad show actually with one of the highlights coming when someone threw a football onto the stage during a song and Robbie chested it down and juggled with it for the entire duration of the number.
It never dropped to the ground once and then he volleyed it far into the crowd. Sign him on now Andy!
